Melaka- a very brief visit




20/1/09 (Tuesday)
I was on my short break and needed to get away from the marking thingy. So, my parents decided to agree with me to visit Melaka for 2N3D. First, we departed from home and took the Simpang Ampat exit after about 2 hr journey. We wanted to visit Muzium Adat Istiadat at Alor Gajah town. We reached there just few minutes before 1pm. We parked and went around it, then discovered it was closed already, with the chain lock on the entrance door. The website did not say anything about closing during the lunch hour break...I wonder why...??? Anyways, I only managed to take few snaps of the surrounding.


Then, we headed to Pengkalan Balak. We had lunch at Gerai Sri Pantai owned by the friendly couple- Kak Jah and husband. Must try Nasi Goreng Kampung Ayam, Cekodok Pisang and Rojak Buah. Yummy!
Later, we made our way to Teratak Rehat Atie Ira - Kg Sg Kertah, Masjid Tanah. Very near to Pengkalan Balak. The air-cond room has a double bed, fridge, kettle, tv, dressing table, 2 stools, a wardrobe. The en-suite bathroom was a bit turn off as the aircond water dripped from the tube right in front of the bathroom door. Price= RM80, kak Sal said weekend it's RM100. Ok lah... 3/5. In the evening, we went to Menara Taming Sari and had dinner at Gerai Haji Musa, Alai.

Lazed around at the chalet until noon. Then went for lunch at D'Sawit- Kari kepala Ikan Jenahak which costs about RM30 (I had mee rebus tulang, yummy!). Abah and mama gave 4,5./5. Then we hit Hotel Seri Malaysia, Ayer Keroh- Family room: RM130 (Gomen rate). A double bed and a single bed, fridge, tv, kettle etc (std Seri Msia). In the evening, spent about 3 hours at Jaya Jusco... abah and mama melepak di JJ. Went back to the hotel and hit the bed.
